Benefits of a Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release (MFR) Decreases Pain When a person has been in pain for a long time it causes both physical and emotional stress on the body. Pain patterns evolve and often the person feels like "the pain is everywhere." Myofascial Release not only works on the painful areas, but addresses all areas of dysfunction throughout the body. It allows the body to heal by allowing the blood, lymph, and nerve receptors to work more effectively. By releasing endorphins, the body's natural pain killers, MFR eliminates the need for prescription drugs. This is why MFR achieves such a high rate of success.
Myofascial Release Strengthens The Immune System The immune system is a major factor in the body's battle to ward off infection and heal injuries. Pulls in the fascia cause the immune system's lymphatic flow to become sluggish. This, compounded by a less active lifestyle or limitations in movement caused by pain, creates even more dysfunction in the lymphatic system. Myofascial Release increases the circulation of lymph throughout your body which thus increases the speed or your recovery from injuries and illness.
Myofascial Release Improves Nerve Function Numbness, tingling, or pain in the arms and legs are often created by fascial adhesions pressing on your nerves. Myofasical Release relieves the pressure that is placed on these nerves bringing a new awareness to the areas that are affected. That is why other therapies alone do not work.
Myofascial Release Increases Blood Circulation Fascial adhesions decrease blood circulation by compressing the arteries. This added pressure to the system places stress on your heart and creates painful and cramping extremities. Myofascial Release increases the blood flow which allows nutrients to get to your tissues and metabolic wastes to be taken away. Many circulatory conditions can be helped or alleviated by freeing the fascia that is preventing the system from functioning effectively.
